OAKLAND AGAINST CLOSING POT CLUBS
Oakland The Oakland City Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution
opposing federal lawsuits aimed at shutting down cannabis clubs in Northern
California.
The city's resolution, adopted Tuesday, rebukes the Clinton
administration's crusade against California cannabis clubs, including clubs
in Oakland and San Francisco.
The resolution says the lawsuit filed by U.S. Attorney Michael Yamaguchi
earlier this month to close six Northern California cannabis clubs
threatens the health of medicinal pot users and encourages "street
narcotics peddlers to sell cannabis to Oakland's ill citizens."
